Seeing that things were settled here, Ahqi immediately took the body of the Hun King and left.
He wanted to take the body of the Hun king and exchange it with the Parthians for his family.
Some time ago, some of the Parthian people who were killed outside Gumozhou City fled back to Alami City.
I heard that their major general was killed, tens of thousands of Parthians were almost wiped out, and some were reduced to slavery.
The Parthians were in an uproar.
However, due to the pressure of the Huns, they could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
But a few days ago, an envoy from Daqian arrived and told the Parthians that the Huns were finished and asked them to stop the fleeing Huns.
When the Parthians heard that the opportunity had come.
They immediately took control of the family of the left-behind general Akhqi, and then forced him to rebel against the Huns.
That’s why today the King of the Huns killed Akhqi’s men.
The envoy from Daqian who stayed in Ahami City, the capital of Anxi Province, was a lieutenant of the Zhengxi Army. When he saw that the Hun King was dead and the remnants of the Huns were wiped out, he immediately returned with the Hun King's head to report the news.
The remaining body of the Hun King was directly mummified by the Parthians and hung on the city wall of Alami City in revenge for the tragic experience of the major general.
east.
Song Yang led the Fuxing Army all the way to Gumo Prefecture.
Qiu Jin and Wang Kai, together with the three generals Yuezhi, Ogusi and Urdu, personally went out of the city for ten miles to meet them.
As soon as they saw Song Yang, the three generals knelt down.
"The three guilty ministers acted as thieves, please be punished by your Majesty!"
Although the three tribes were coerced by the Huns, it is an indisputable fact that they invaded Daqian.
Song Yang did not speak immediately, but ignored them for a while.
After listening to Qiu Jin and Wang Kai's work report, he said to the man:
"Three generals, please get up. You were originally vassals of Daqian and had a harmonious relationship with Daqian. But this time you are threatened by the Huns to attack Daqian. If there is a natural disaster, I will definitely destroy your entire clan!"
The three of them were shocked. They were exterminated!
After being frightened, I heard Song Yang say: "However, after the natural disaster, the population has been wiped out, and we still need your efforts to rebuild our homes."
"In addition, you finally repented and overthrew the Xiongnu's brutality."
Song Yang paused and continued: "Let's do this. Two thousand people from each tribe will be responsible for the reconstruction of the three towns of Shule, Qiuci, and Gumo Prefecture!"
"Others, I won't care about you anymore, just hurry up and go back to your home base! I will send someone to deal with you as soon as possible to make arrangements for you in the future."
"Remember, the Huns and their like are only prosperous for a while! The Central Plains Dynasty is your master!"
Song Yang's last sentence was very serious, mainly for the Yuezhi people.
Urdu and the Ogusi people were too far away from each other. They were only in Jisi Prefecture before, so Song Yang had no intention of keeping them here.
The Yueshi, however, had stationed officials to manage it.
The three generals all kowtowed obediently, saying that they would definitely obey Dagan's arrangements and be good ministers to Dagan in the future.
After meeting Song Yang, each of the three tribes left two thousand laborers, and the rest were sent away on the same day.
Song Yang really doesn't want to take care of the food...
Stopped in Gumozhou for one night.
The next day Song Yang led the army to Shule Town.
Song Hui from Suiye City has also led his army south.
The two agreed to meet in Shule Town.
Three days later, the two major military forces arrived in Shule Town almost simultaneously.
Kafu also greeted him at the city gate early.
"Your Majesty Kafu! Meet the Lord of Daqian! Meet the Lord Warlord!"
Wang Kai came first and taught Kraft some Daqian etiquette.
Song Yang had a smile on his face, not at all as cold as when he saw General Yuezhi.
"Get up quickly, General Kafu. You Persians contributed a lot to the destruction of the Huns. And you also took back Shule Town, which is no small contribution." Song Yang said to Kafu with a smile.
Kraft did not stand up in a hurry but said hurriedly: "It is my honor to be able to handle affairs for the great and wise leader."
"Haha! Okay. Get up. Let's go to the city and chat. I heard that your family is a businessman. I just want to talk to you about business matters."
Song Yang laughed and said.
"Business matters?" Kraft stood up, with some confusion on his face.
Didn't you say that they wanted land before? Why did it involve business matters?
But when it comes to business, Kraft is still very interested.
After reuniting with Song Hui, he asked the Zhengxi Army to take over Shule Town.
The work of recovering the cities in the Western Region was left to the veteran general.
Once the Huns are eliminated, Song Yang will have nothing to worry about.
Speaking of the battle with the Xiongnu, the Renaissance Army was almost accidentally injured.
In fact, this is also the biggest drawback of a snowballing army like the Xiongnu.
When the snowball rolls down, it is powerful and unstoppable.
But if the snowball can no longer roll, it’s time to fall apart.
After three days of busy work, Song Hui led the Western Expedition Army to the west. He wanted to go to the cities in the west to arrange things for the Huns.
Song Yang stayed in Shule Town to wait for him.
I finally made time to meet with Kraft.
For the past three days, Kraft's food has not tasted good and he has not felt at ease.
He is always worried that no matter what Song Yang says, he will not be able to decide the matter.
Although Persia was weaker than the Huns, it was once powerful after all.
As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, but the Persians still have a very deep heritage.
This is also the main reason why although the Huns defeated Persia, they did not force them too much and only allowed them to send out 20,000 to 30,000 people to fight with them.
"Sit down, General Kraft."
Song Yang can't speak Xiongnu, and Kafu can't speak Dagan.
Wang Kai acted as the translator.
Kafu sat down carefully and then asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, I wonder what kind of business you want to discuss?"
Song Yang smiled and said, "Kraft, there's no need to be nervous. We're just going to talk about some business matters today. Can you first tell me what kind of business your family does?"
After listening to Song Yang's inquiry, Kraft did not hide anything.
His family is extremely large.
Even the Persian emperor was part of it because he was royalty.
And his side, or rather his father's side, started off in business.
The main items sold are salt, camels, horses, cloth and jade.
After hearing this, Song Yang smiled and said, "You guys deal in a lot of things. I wonder if Daqian's stuff is marketable at your place?"
Speaking of this, Kraft gradually entered the state.
"Yes! Daqian's silk, porcelain, and handmade products are all very popular products."
"As long as the goods are available, there is no need to worry about selling them. Many nobles even reserve large quantities of goods several years in advance."
"It's a pity. After the natural disaster, the Silk Road was interrupted, and many transfer stations were abandoned. Without transfer stations, it would be difficult for caravans to cross the vast border."
At this point, Kraft said a little disappointed.
"When the Silk Road was open, were many goods shipped to Persia?" Song Yang asked again.
"Not much. Back then, my cousin, Jalal, was engaged in commodity trafficking. A round trip often took a year or more."
"Furthermore, the transportation capacity of the camel team is very limited. In addition to goods, food, drink and supplies must also be transported. Once there are too many goods and insufficient supplies, the camels may stop leaving halfway."
"Furthermore, the various forces in the Western Region are complex. Even if there is a large-scale suppression, bandits are often seen."
"Taken together from many factors, it is considered lucky to be able to transport 50% of 100% of dry goods to Persia. Therefore, the price of large dry goods in Persia is extremely high! It is a luxury that only nobles can enjoy."
Kraft said a lot in one breath.
It can be seen that he is very knowledgeable about business and things on the Silk Road.
"Kraft, there are indeed many problems with camel fleet transportation. If you want to make big money and do big business, you must change the transportation method."
After Kafu finished speaking, Song Yang said leisurely.
"Change the mode of transportation?" Kraft was stunned.
Kraft didn't even know that it was possible to reach Persia directly by sea, or that no one knew the route.
In this era, the Dagan people probably only visited the southeastern part of the Indian Ocean.
Few people have even crossed the waters of Malacca.
The maritime trade of the Persians was also limited to the coastal areas of the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea.
It is difficult to connect Daqian and Persia by sea.
Song Yang stood up with a smile and placed a small wooden boat in front of Kraft.
"Use a boat!"
Kraft's eyes lit up.
"Use a boat? If you can really use a boat, one boat can carry dozens or hundreds of camels!"
At this time, the Persians already had large ships with sails and oars, and their loading capacity was not weak.
If you use it to go to sea, you can make a lot of money in just one trip.
"Sigh. It's a pity that the sea and land are too far away, and no one has ever traveled from Daqian to Persia."
"I once heard that Daqian is far to the east of Tianzhu. It is difficult for ordinary sea ships to cross the vast sea."
Kraft is a business family, and the shortcomings of the camel team have troubled them for many years.
In fact, their family had thought about opening up a maritime trade channel a long time ago.
But it was too far from Persia to Daqian. There was no route and no compass, so it was impossible to travel such a long sea route.
After saying this, Kafu was suddenly startled, picked up the boat, looked at Song Yang and asked: "Dear King, do you have a way to reach Persia from land and sea?"
Song Yang then smiled and nodded slightly: "Yes! This is why I came to you. I want to talk to you about maritime trade!"
"Your Majesty, just say it! What do you need us to do?" Kafu stood up excitedly and said.
Once maritime trade is opened, his family will quickly accumulate wealth, and the benefits will be too great.
"I need a port, a port in the Persian Gulf. I know a place, north of Qeshm Island. That place is called Abbas. It may be a small fishing village now." Song Yang said softly.
Kraft's scalp went numb when he heard this.
As a member of the Persian royal family, he himself did not know about Abbas.
But he knew about Qeshm Island, the largest island in the Persian Gulf.
It was a dependent territory of the Persian state, and he even went there.
The king of Daqian can tell you about Qeshm Island and that there is an Abbas fishing village to the north of Qeshm Island.
This shocked Kraft.
"Your Majesty! Have you been to Persia? Have you been to Persia by sea?" Kafu looked at Song Yang in shock.
"Not yet, but I will go and take a look if I have a chance." Song Yang said with a smile.
After sitting down with Kraft, Song Yang said: "Abbas is a good port, very suitable for berthing sea ships."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can make the decision to donate this place to Da Gan!" Kafu said immediately.
